US Weekly reports exclusively that Elizabeth Olsen and Tom Hiddleston have been hooking up. It’s an Avengers romance! It’s a Marvel love connection!

There’s a steadily growing swell of hype surrounding Guillermo Del Toro’s Crimson Peak, which released its first trailer today (spurred on by a bootleg copy making the rounds after it debuted in front of Fifty Shades of Grey last night—when will studios learn that they cannot stop this from happening and just release trailers BEFORE they’re slated to premiere in theaters?).

Not quite the same as Tom Hardy and a puppy…but, again, my flavour is not your flavour. So Happy Christmas, Hiddle-Hards, here’s your man arriving at LAX yesterday wearing what looks to be the same hoodie he was wearing in a video that was circulating the other day of him singing in the studio with a dog on his lap.

Benedict Cumberbatch and fiancée Sophie Hunter (in Erdem) attended the London Evening Standard Theatre Awards together last night. Of course he’d be there. Because even though he’s been hustling his balls off for an Oscar, that voice was meant for the stage, don’t you know? And he’s to be Hamlet soon. Full Story

There are a lot of cameos in Avengers: Age of Ultron. I don’t want to get yelled at for spoilers, so I’m not enumerating them here, but if you peruse nerd sites you can easily find out which ones have already been spoiled, and now you can add two more to the list. While giving an interview to the Telegraph, Idris Elba let it drop that he and Tom Hiddleston have cameos in Age of Ultron. Full Story

I saw this late Friday afternoon and heard a loud record scratch in my head—Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston are going to star in a television adaptation of John le Carre’s The Night Manager.

Remember that Ben-Hur remake that would pretty much only be watchable if it starred Tom Hiddleston? Well it’s no longer starring Tom Hiddleston. Instead it will star Jack Huston, which means I can stop caring about a February movie. Full Story

When the news came out that Tom Hiddleston would be portraying country music legend Hank Williams in a biopic titled I Saw the Light, I said I was fine with the choice from an acting standpoint but that I worried about the singing. Hiddles will be doing his own vocals, and we have severalFull Story

MGM had previously announced their intention to remake Ben-Hur, the classic Charlton Heston chariot race epic, but nothing about the project inspired confidence. They’ve put Timur Bekmambetov, director of such fine films as Wanted and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, in charge and they’ve already dated it for a February 2016 release. Full Story

I love old timey country music. I get it from my dad—he loves Woody Guthrie and Willie Nelson and Carl Perkins. He gave me all his Johnny Cash records when I was a kid, and even though he prefers to drive in silence, on road trips he would play Hank Williams because he knew I liked to have music in the car and that was all he could stand to listen to while driving.

Charlie Hunnam is currently working on Guillermo Del Toro’s Crimson Peak, a “gothic horror”, just outside Toronto. He celebrated his 34th birthday on set yesterday in costume. He was sweet and patient with fans who lingered on set to get autographs and take pictures. It was chill, no drama. Full Story

When we first met Serial Killer Tom, he had just murdered his business associates and was using his Jaguar to dispose of the bodies. When we next saw him, he was explaining to us what makes him a good serial killer—coincidentally, all the same things that make Jaguars good cars (style, command, precision, power, “sounding right”).

I mean, he’s all soft side, isn’t he? He’s basically the human equivalent of a puppy’s belly. But our most recent exposure to Hiddles was via Jaguar’s serial killer makeover, so it’s nice to be reminded that this is the same Tom Hiddleston who dancedFull Story
